Mandriva: Subject: [Security Announce] [ MDVSA-2008:231 ] libxml2

LinuxSecurity.com: Drew Yaro of the Apple Product Security Team found two flaws in libxml2. The first is a denial of service flaw in libxml2's XML parser. If an application linked against libxml2 were to process certain malformed XML content, it cause the application to enter an infinite loop (CVE-2008-4225).

NAME
XML::LibXML::RegExp - XML::LibXML::RegExp - interface to libxml2 regular expressions SYNOPSIS
use XML::LibXML; my $compiled_re = XML::LibXML::RegExp->new('[0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?'); if ($compiled_re->isDeterministic()) { ... } if ($compiled_re->matches($string)) { ... } $compiled_re = XML::LibXML::RegExp->new( $regexp_str ); $bool = $compiled_re->matches($string); $bool = $compiled_re->isDeterministic(); DESCRIPTION
This is a perl interface to libxml2's implementation of regular expressions, which are used e.g. for validation of XML Schema simple types (pattern facet). new() $compiled_re = XML::LibXML::RegExp->new( $regexp_str ); The constructor takes a string containing a regular expression and returns a compiled regexp object. matches($string) $bool = $compiled_re->matches($string); Given a string value, returns a true value if the value is matched by the compiled regular expression. isDeterministic() $bool = $compiled_re->isDeterministic(); Returns a true value if the regular expression is deterministic; returns false otherwise. (See the definition of determinism in the XML spec (<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#determinism>)) AUTHORS
